SZA Reflects on Past Relationships and Having a “Bad Taste in Men”.
During her performance at the O2 Arena in London, SZA candidly shared her experience with an unfaithful ex-boyfriend. The 33-year-old singer expressed her sadness in returning to the city during the European leg of her SOS Tour, revealing that her former partner had cheated on her there. With a small laugh, she addressed the crowd, saying, “I never told anybody, but, like, my boyfriend cheated on me in this city before. It was terrible, and that’s why I was really sad to come here. But you guys made it so much better. Thank you!”
As she prepared to transition into her next song, the popular RIAA platinum-certified hit “Nobody Gets Me,” SZA clarified, “This song is about my other trash ex-boyfriend.”
Concluding her heartfelt revelation, SZA admitted, “I have bad taste in men.”
Recently, a video capturing a candid moment of SZA surfaced on social media, courtesy of Capital XTRA. The singer, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, has never been one to shy away from opening up to her audiences. In a recent cover story for Elle magazine, she revealed how her unfiltered remarks during a show had caught the attention of an ex-boyfriend.
According to SZA, her ex-boyfriend’s father reached out to her, expressing his son’s hurt feelings about what she had said to the crowd in Portland. She had openly shared that her ex had blocked her, and she saw no issue with it because it was the truth.
Refusing to stay silent, SZA expressed her frustration, stating, “You don’t get to block me on everything. Tell our mutual friends terrible things about me like I’m a monster, or whatever the case may be. And then I don’t get to speak my peace in my way. You go do your healing, and I’ll do mine.”
For SZA, being authentic and transparent with her fans is essential. She sees it as a way to avoid boredom and find empowerment. In her own words, she explained, “The only way I don’t bore myself is to bare myself. It’s freeing and empowering AF.”
SZA’s willingness to share her experiences and emotions is not only relatable but also a testament to her authenticity as an artist. Her openness resonates with fans and creates a deeper connection between her and the people who appreciate her music.
